Located at the very southern tip of Chile, Punta Arenas is a frontier city with a unique charm. Known as the gateway to Antarctica, it is famous as a base for explorers and scientists from around the world, offering tours to Torres del Paine National Park, one of the world's top hiking destinations. With colorful mansions, a windswept waterfront, the well-preserved Braun-Menendez Palace, and the blazingly beautiful sunsets, Punta Arenas invites its visitors to explore its rich history and marvel at the exceptional patagonian landscape. It's also known for its rare wildlife, especially the colonies of Magellanic penguins on Magdalena Island, which are a major attraction for tourists.

The climate in this city is cool and cold at night. It’s very peaceful and relax. Be sure to visit Penguin Island! The seafood soup is delicious. You can find the restaurant: magallania in the seafood market.
